Cleaning plastic with laser technology

At first glance, plastic and hot laser energy might seem incompatible – but that’s far from the truth. The wide range of laser settings makes it possible to tackle countless applications in the field of plastics: from removing stickers to stripping paint. To provide you with the best possible solution for cleaning plastic, simply tell us what type of plastic or composite material you want to clean. Each surface presents its own unique challenges, and we’re ready to meet them. We’ll work with you to determine the optimal controlled parameters for your specific application.

Laser cleaning plastic – yes, it’s possible!

When the laser energy is correctly focused and doesn’t dwell too long on the surface, a wide range of applications for cleaning plastic becomes possible. Examples include removing adhesive residue from plastic containers without a trace, stripping coatings from plastic parts with high precision and removing paint from rubber seals. It’s also possible to texture or roughen surfaces in a controlled way – for example, to create a bonding surface or to prepare sealing surfaces.

Got any questions? We’ve got the answers!

Composite and plastic materials can be damaged by the heat generated during laser cleaning. That’s why laser parameters must be carefully adjusted to remove only the contaminants without affecting the substrate. The best results are achieved by combining shorter pulse durations with lower frequencies, along with constant temperature monitoring.
